No 600watt MH? Why are folks claiming that doesn't exist? Motdot even told you where he got it - I found the product he must have purchased in less than 30 seconds.

Sucks you got the lemon bulb, Motdot. Sounds like it could have been any of us. I've had good luck and never had a bulb burn out on me like that, but if I did I'd be in trouble since I actually don't have spares sitting around. Good luck with your green endeavors!
